RED-C Roundup

Deacon Mike Beauvais and Msgr. Leonard Pivonka explore how truth, goodness, beauty, and love reveal God—and reorder our desires, choices, and culture. They unpack the transcendentals as real signposts that awaken the soul and call for conversion of mind and heart. Drawing on Scripture, the saints (especially Augustine), and lived experience, they distinguish fleeting pleasure from lasting joy, connect freedom with humility and the moral law, and explain why love always involves sacrifice. They address “your truth/my truth,” conscience and judgment, and the prophetic clarity of Humanae Vitae, contrasting secular confusion with the Church’s perennial wisdom in worship, art, and teaching. If you’re grappling with objective truth in a relativistic age, this conversation offers first principles and hopeful next steps for living them at home, work, and parish life.

Miscarriage grief is real. Zelie’s Hope offers Catholic healing, a memorial Mass, and community for families in Bryan–College Station—and a model you can bring to your parish. Host Pam Marvin speaks with Dorothy Pepper and Jonathan Bertagne about this deanery-wide ministry that walks with parents after miscarriage or stillbirth. Hear how the team provides two concrete paths of care: monthly grief-support gatherings where couples can speak freely, and the Precious Life Memorial Mass with a naming rite, candles, and inscription in the parish Book of the Dead. They outline three aims—immediate care, a formal commending of each child to the Lord, and a wider cultural change that honors life and accompanies grieving families, no matter how long ago the loss.

No one taught you to pray? Deacon Terry Timmons offers a simple, concrete path to a real conversation with God—and why it changes everything. Deacon Terry shares growing up Catholic, falling away, and rediscovering a personal relationship with the Lord through prayer—an encounter that led to his book No One Taught Me to Pray? …Well, Let’s Fix That. He names the gap: many are taught prayers but not how to pray. Hear how an ACTS retreat sparked renewal; why silence and Eucharistic adoration matter; and how retreats and mentorship help teens, college students, and adults form a daily habit of prayer. We walk through the ACTS method (Adoration, Contrition, Thanksgiving, Supplication), the difference between knowing about God and knowing God, and how the Lord called him to the diaconate through others’ encouragement.
